"Ghilan'nain," Sina explains, "a dying woman turned into a halla by Andruil, so she could live eternal." She blushes a little too, perhaps just mirroring Fern's. "The only Creator who was once among the People. She represents navigation, finding a way ahead. Perhaps even in impossible circumstances."

A pause, and Sina realizes she's being a nerd. "--Siuona," she says quickly, "First of Clan Dahlaanor. Most call me Sina. Andaran atish'an."
